Nearly half of unpaid carers get less than an hour to themselves each day. They have no legal right to a break.
Let’s change that. Sign the petition at https://t.co/vcv4dyASJ0

The first major change to Carer's Allowance since it was introduced (1970s), it's scandalous carers have been overlooked for so long. But those who are unable to work due to their caring role will have heavy hearts knowing they just have to continue living on a subsistence rate.
The Carer’s Allowance earnings limit increase announced in the #AutumnBudget today is unprecedented.
After years of our campaigning, we are pleased that working carers can now take on additional hours to earn up to £196 per week from April 2025, or over £10,000 a year.
Sonia Pottinger, a former accountant turned producer, was behind many reggae hits, working with acts like Ken Boothe, The Melodians and The Gaylads. As part of Black History Month, we celebrate her pivotal 20-year career (1965-1985) and lasting impact on Jamaican music. #BHM
We need urgent action to bring unpaid carers out of poverty and put them on a stable financial footing.
Help us by writing to your MP to urge them to put pressure on the Chancellor ahead of the Autumn Budget in just 2 weeks time.
